Ali Asgari and Alireza Khatami worked on the script together, but couldn't find the money to shoot their film. They ended up financing the movie themselves, with the help of friends, and then shot the movie in seven days.
Sadaf Asgari, the niece of the director and actress playing the taxi driver contesting the fine during the fourth segment, was banned from working after this movie.
The movie is comprised of nine segments, each focusing on one character at odds with the political and religious power in modern day Iran, and each named after the characters: David, Selena, Aram, Sadaf, Faezeh, Farbod, Siamak, Ali, and Mehri.
Its world premiere was at the Un Certain Regard section of the 2023 Cannes Film Festival in May 2023.
